Chapter 1 Prologue

5 years ago.....

"Hey Brendan I need to talk to you", Elisha approached best friend. He was chilling by his car with two of his friends who shamelessly checked her out.

"What's up Lisha?" He asked, Lisha was her nickname from him since kindergarten.

"In private", she added looking at his friends who said bye and left.

"Do you want to go to my house or yours?" He opened the passenger side for her of his car.

"I can't be long my brother is picking me up soon, we're moving", she looked away.

"Text him, we'll drive around town while we talk", Brendan suggested.

"I only got five minutes", Elisha said.

"Okay, then start talking Lisha, you're worrying me", he frowned.

"When I move, I don't think I'm coming back here", she began.

"But we still will keep in contact right?" He asked.

"Yes of course", she nodded.

"Good because you know we're a team and this year we planned to run the school together", he joked.

"Not if Stephanie does it first", Elisha rolled her eyes.

"Nah you're irreplaceable", he assured her.

"At least Layla doesn't have to fight me for vice captain spot this year in softball", she shrugged.

"Oh yeah I was sure you would of been captain since I'm captain of the baseball team", Brendan boasted.

"Promise me one thing?" She asked.

"Anything", he replied.

"That if I am in any sort of trouble, you'll be there when I call for help?"

"I promise", he sworn.

"Good, but this is not goodbye Brendan, I'll be back." she assured him.

"And I'll be waiting for that call", he smiled.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
